| 56th National Council Session is the national business meeting being held on July 18–20 where delegates from every council across the nation and USA Girl Scouts Overseas meet to discuss, debate, and vote on issues important to the Girl Scout Movement, and elect national leaders for the next triennium. | Phenom by Girl Scouts consists of exciting experiences in the Expo Hall and other fun and enriching programming from July 20–22.

Update on COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements for 2023 Convention
GSUSA continues to follow CDC guidance on COVID-19 vaccination and consequently requires attendees at in-person events to be fully vaccinated. However, Florida has passed and is currently enforcing a statute that prohibits organizations that hold events in Florida from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination to attend. GSUSA will therefore not require attendees of the 2023 Girl Scout Convention (56th National Council Session (NCS) followed by Phenom by Girl Scouts) to be vaccinated; consequently, delegate liaisons will not be expected to conduct any checks on attendee vaccination status.
We continue to strongly encourage all attendees to be fully vaccinated to protect the health and safety of our Movement. We will evaluate whether additional safety measures are needed closer to the event.
